Aahn Hoed It

Driving home tonight from my Mom's house Shelby fell asleep from the exhaustion of a fun summer day of playing with her cousins. Peyton was however wide awake and fascinated by the moon. It's just a small crescent tonight and she kept track of it all the way home no matter which way the car turned it was always out sissy's window or Mommy's window but never out Pey Pey's window. She kept saying Aahn hoed it (I want to hold it) and I'd tell her it's too far. She wanted it to be out her window and I said it would be as soon as we got to our house. On our road she was quite upset saying "is not ow my winow is ow yours winow" I said just wait and when we turned into the driveway I stopped the car and showed her and she was so excited it had finally "come to hers side". I just love that sweet girl. Then after I carried Shelby in to bed I walked around outside holding Peyton and we both tried to reach it but we couldn't "is to far" and the "stars ares to far too"

Peytons new favorite game: making me sit on the floor while she combs my hair and every few minutes saying "not yet" or "yours hair looks special"

Scrapbooking still at 1:30 am at my Mom's with Mikasa and Danette

Chavez 2

So when my little sister Shayla was a kid she watched the movie Young Guns one to many times and decided that she was Chavez. She was the wildest little dirty, grubby, no hair combing, knife weilding kid you ever saw. So then I guess it should come as no surprise that my sweet little princess Shelby has started to take after her. She would absolutely live outside if I would let her. She adores her new kitties and spends hours crawling through the tall weeds out in the field with them building "nests". She has no fear of anything. She makes mud pies for Peyton who is almost as wild as her big sister. This past week Sven invited some friends over to ride on his track and the kids spent the day playing in their "sandbox" which is actually a huge pit that he dug while building the track. I got to ride the 4-wheeler around with Pey Pey and take pictures of Sven and pictures of the sand pit crew.
